Using Blogspot better

1) I need to learn how to get Blogspot to accept in-lined links to URLs.

That last post had the usual <a href="Dan's Site URL">Dan's Site</a> malarky, and Blogspot kindly removed all it's usefulness.

Don't you just love it when machines are sure they knew what you want, even when you had told them the opposite?

2) I need to find a way to use blockquotes, or something similar, here so the commands I type into Wine and the messages Wine gives me stand out from my rambles.
